winwin

Schedules went out yesterday.

I will make sure to wear my good suit then lol

You could...but not for long lol

I asked because several emails have gone unanswered. Trying to get a game lol. We have 5 open dates

Yes my list was returning varsity players only. I'm sure your G'son will be making some noise this year! Gonna try to catch a Rebels game

So who is currently working on the West Brook varsity schedule?

How many times did you hit the game winning shot? I lost count in my driveway at 300 lol

That's the wise academic choice. Communications program is AAA plus

Daimon Sweet...Bmt Central C/O 88. Still one of the best high school players to come out of SE Texas but I thought would be a star in the league.

But we are getting off topic again So where is Eli going? Any updates?

I think they just don't know. They WANT to believe it. Truth is, yes there are plenty of kids in the BISD that would do GREAT at Kelly or any other school district. But the BISD as an organization is a pure academic joke. If you don't believe me, watch the news, read the paper, surf the internet or ask a neighbor. Its sad really. So if you want to be in denial about how equal the BISD is to ANY district within about 5000 miles of Beaumont, go right ahead. LOL

I don't think HJ is a bad academic school. And I would not consider it an academic let down. Now I would consider a BISD school an academic let down. All I said was that the Parquets said that they wanted Eli in a more religious environment with higher academic standards. Just because the academics are slightly higher at Kelly, I'm not saying they are low or bad at HJ. The gap wouldn't be drastic at all.

We have had two students that I know of personally in the last year that transferred from Kelly to BISD schools. Both were D students at Kelly. Both are A students now. Classes they were able to select are easier in the BISD. And from what I hear, they don't even give homework at Central! Don't know if that's true of Ozen or West Brook. The only case where this doesn't apply is that top 5 % in a BISD school. I would bet they would be successful anywhere.

That's funny! LOL Passing Fundamentals of Math class is not the same as passing Trig

I am a part time coach at Kelly. I own a business in Beaumont in my spare time LOL. I have a kid at Kelly and graduated a daughter from Kelly in 2011. I am a long time supporter of Catholic schools in Beaumont. God first. But education is very important to me. And the last thing I would want is for kids to just come to Kelly without meeting the academic standards. Its not all about basketball with me. But how would you know...you don't even know me LOL

Kids will be kids yes. LOL But with all the service hour requirements and religious classes at Kelly, it cant hurt when trying to keep kids on track. Nothing is fool proof.

I mean a school that has a religious class. And by the way, those were THEIR words...not mine. So are you saying that our students aren't religious?

Now in Eli's case, I know he wanted to come to Kelly because his parents wanted him in a religious environment with higher academic standards. And as far as we know, they still want him there. Not sure why the West Brook rumors are flying around. So I guess we will all find out in August

Section 443 A and B....if I were moving my son because of athletic reasons, I would never tell anyone about my dislike of his current basketball program (In the media or in the general public). I wouldn't tell anyone anything at all. This is what leaves some people with some exposure.

My list is just a starting point. Add away! lol

Silsbee is working their league around those "open dates". So that cant be the reason for the drop off.

Yep. Zane is on the list

I don't really know the kids outside of our TV media coverage area. So if I went with the sites coverage area, we would be getting into the Houston market. The "Best Returning Players" topic title didn't restrict an area or require an area. So I went with what I know best.

Like I said, I'm sure I will mistakenly leave some guys off. Not a scientific poll. Just really based on my observations

Local media viewing for the most part.
